Athul Das answered
To find the input resistance of the network, we can use the formula:

Input resistance (Rin) = (Voltage gain / Current gain) * (Feedback factor / Amplifier gain)

Given:
Amplifier gain (Av) = 100
Feedback factor (β) = 5

The voltage gain (Av) can be calculated as the ratio of output voltage (Vo) to input voltage (Vi):

Av = Vo / Vi

Since it is a voltage series feedback network, the output voltage (Vo) and input voltage (Vi) are related by the formula:

Vo = Vi / (1 + β * Av)

Substituting the given values:

Av = 100
β = 5

Vo = Vi / (1 + 5 * 100)
Vo = Vi / 501

Now, we can calculate the output voltage (Vo) using the formula:

Vo = Av * Vi

Vo = 100 * 4V
Vo = 400V

Substituting the calculated values into the equation for Vo:

400V = Vi / 501

Solving for Vi:

Vi = 400V * 501
Vi = 200,400V

Now, we can substitute the calculated values into the formula for input resistance (Rin):

Rin = (Av / Ai) * (β / Av)

Rin = (100 / (2mA / 200,400V)) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / (0.002A / 200,400V)) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / (0.002A / 200,400V)) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / (0.002A / 200,400V)) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / 0.002A) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / 0.002A) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / 0.002A) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / 0.002A) * (5 / 100)
Rin = (100 / 0.002A) * (5 / 100)
Rin = 1,000 * 0.05
Rin = 50

Therefore, the input resistance of the network is 50 ohms.

With the increase in temperature, the resistivity of an intrinsic semiconductor decreases. This is because, with the increase of temperature
  • a)
    the carrier concentration decreases, but the mobility of carriers increases.
  • b)
    the carrier concentration increases, but the mobility of carriers decreases.
  • c)
    the carrier concentration remains the same but the mobility of carriers decreases.
  • d)
    both the carrier concentration and mobility of carriers decreases
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Malavika Nair answered
In an intrinsic semiconductor, as the temperature increases mobility is slightly reduced since mobility of charge carrier is inversely proportional to temperature. This will slightly reduce the conductivity. But, due to temperature effect, large number of covalent bonds are broken which creates electrons and holes and this increases the conductivity by a larger value. As a result of this resistivity is decreased 

Assertion (A): The drift velocity is in the direction opposite to that of the electric field.
Reason (R): At each inelastic collision with an ion, an electron loses energy, and a steady-state condition is reached where a finite value of drift speed is attained.

    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • b)
    Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

    A is true but R is false.
  • d)
    A is false but R is true.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Dj Bravo answered
Both assertion and reason are individually correct statements. However, the reason for assertion is that due to the applied electric field, and electrostatic force is developed on the electron and the electrons would be accelerated in a direction opposite to the applied electric field and this motion is called directed motion of electron

Given, I = 1.6 x 10-6 A
= 1.6 x 10-6 Coulomb/second
Charge crossing a particular cross-section per second = 1.6 x 10-6 C Hence, number of electrons crossing a particular cross-section per second

In a feedback network, input voltage is 14V, feedback voltage is 6V and source voltage is 20V. β is in ohms. What is its configuration?
  • a)
    Shunt-Shunt feedback
  • b)
    Shunt-Series feedback
  • c)
    Series-Series feedback
  • d)
    Series-Shunt feedback
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Patel answered
Given that input is 14V, feedback is 6V and source is 20 V, we can see
VI = VS – VF, which is voltage mixing. Also, β is in ohms that is voltage/current.
Since output of feedback is voltage and input is current, the output has current sampling.
Thus, configuration is a series-series feedback/current – series feedback.

The forward current gain (α) of a bipolar transistor can be increased by
1. reducing the recombination lifetime in the emitter
2. increasing the emitter doping density.
3. increasing the base doping density.

    2 and 4 only
  • c)
    1, 2 and 4 only 
  • d)
    4 only
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Manoj Mehra answered
• When emitter is heavily doped, more majority carriers will reach into base due to which lC will increase and hence α increases.
• Due to early effect, base width is reduced as a result of which IC is slightly increased. Hence, α of the transistor is increased.
Hence, 2 and 4 are correct.

Pranab Basu answered
Base is provided with smallest area to reduce transit type or journey time for the majority carriers while travelling from emitter to collector. Emitter is heavily doped to inject its majority carrier into base.

Which factor determines the gain of the voltage series feedback amplifier?

    Open loop voltage gain
  • b)
    Feedback voltage
  • c)
    Ratio of two resistors
  • d)
    Gain of feedback circuit
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Patel answered
In setting the gain of the voltage series feedback amplifier, the ratio of two resistors is important and not the absolute value of these resistors. For example: If a gain of 11 is desired, we choose R1 = 1kΩ and R1 = 10kΩ or R1 = 100Ω and RF = 1kΩ.

Applications of negative feedback to a certain amplifier reduced its gain from 200 to 100. If the gain with the same feedback is to be raised to 150, in the case of another such appliance, the gain of the amplifier without feedback must have been

Anirban Gupta answered
The force acting on a charge q placed in a magnetic field B and an electric field E is given by
F = qv x B
The velocity of the hole placed in an electric field is


Now, F - + q E ...(ii) (+q = charge on a hole)
Comparing equations (i) and (ii), the electric field due to the Hall effect will be -400 V/cm in +z direction.

A transistor has hfe = 100, hte = 5.2 kΩ, and rbb, = 0. At room temperature V= 26 mV. The collector current |IC| will be
  • a)
    10 mA    
  • b)
    5 mA
  • c)
    1 mA    
  • d)
    0.5 mA
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Janhavi Roy answered
The parameters hfe and hte are commonly used to describe the characteristics of a transistor:

1. hfe: This is the current gain of the transistor, also known as the forward current transfer ratio (β). It represents the ratio of the collector current (IC) to the base current (IB). In this case, hfe = 100 means that for every 1 unit of base current, the collector current is 100 times larger.

2. hte: This is the reverse voltage transfer ratio, also known as the reverse current gain. It represents the ratio of the output current (IC) to the input voltage (VBE). In this case, hte = 5.2 k (kilo-ohms) means that for every 1 unit of input voltage, the output current is 5.2 k times larger.

These parameters are important in determining the operating characteristics and performance of a transistor in various circuits, such as amplifiers and switches.

The Zener diode VZ1 in the figure shown below has the reverse saturation current of 20 mA and reverse breakdown voltage of 100 V whereas the corresponding values for diode  VZ2  are 40 μA and 40 V.
The current through the circuit is
  • a)
    20 μA anticlockwise
  • b)
    20 μA clockwise
  • c)
    40 μA anticlockwise
  • d)
    40 μA clockwise
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Avik Saha answered
The Zener diode VZ2 is reverse biased and VZ1 is forward biased. As both Zener diodes \/Z1 and VZ2 are connected in series, the reverse saturation current 40 μA of VZ2 will flow clockwise in the circuit as 50 V reverse bias appears across the VZ2 diode.

An amplifier has a Open Loop voltage gain of –500. This gain is reduced to –100 when negative feedback is applied. The reverse transmission factor,β of this system is:-
  • a)
    – 0.025
  • b)
    – 0.008
  • c)
    0.1
  • d)
    – 0.2
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

An amplifier has an open loop voltage gain of "A." The open loop voltage gain, also known as the gain without any feedback applied, is a measure of how much the amplifier amplifies the input voltage. It is typically expressed as a ratio or in decibels.

The open loop voltage gain can be calculated by dividing the output voltage by the input voltage:

Open Loop Voltage Gain (A) = Output Voltage / Input Voltage

For example, if an amplifier has an output voltage of 10V and an input voltage of 1V, the open loop voltage gain would be 10.

It is important to note that the open loop voltage gain is not a fixed value and can vary depending on the frequency of the input signal. Amplifiers often have a frequency response curve that shows how the gain changes with frequency.

Additionally, the open loop voltage gain is usually much higher than the closed loop voltage gain when feedback is applied. Feedback is commonly used to stabilize the amplifier's performance and reduce distortion.

The feedback topology in the amplifier circuit (the base bias circuit is not shown for simplicity) in the figure is
  • a)
    Voltage shunt feedback
  • b)
    Current series feedback
  • c)
    Current shunt feedback
  • d)
    Voltage series feedback
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Patel answered
In a current series feedback, current is sampled from the output and voltage is feedback to the source.
In the given amplifier circuit, the feedback signal becomes zero by opening the output feedback.
Hence, it is a current series feedback.

What are the values of VP and ID for VGS = 0.5 V of an N-channel FET that has IDSS = 10 mA with drain voltage of 5 V and gmo = 5 mA/V?

    2 V and 7.65 mA
  • b)
    4 V and 3.83 mA 
  • c)
    4 V and 7.65 mA
  • d)
    2 V and 3.83 mA
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Aniket Shah answered
Given data:
VGS = 0.5 V
IDSS = 10 mA
VDS = 5 V
gmo = 5 mA/V

To find:
Values of VP and ID

- Calculation of VP:
VP can be calculated using the formula:
VP = VGS - ID/2 * (1/gmo)

Given:
VGS = 0.5 V
IDSS = 10 mA
gmo = 5 mA/V

Substituting the values in the formula:
VP = 0.5 V - (10 mA)/(2 * 5 mA/V)
VP = 0.5 V - 1 V
VP = -0.5 V

- Calculation of ID:
ID can be calculated using the formula:
ID = IDSS * (1 - VGS/VP)^2

Given:
VGS = 0.5 V
IDSS = 10 mA
VP = -0.5 V

Substituting the values in the formula:
ID = 10 mA * (1 - 0.5 V / -0.5 V)^2
ID = 10 mA * (1 + 1)^2
ID = 10 mA * 4
ID = 40 mA

Therefore, the values of VP and ID for VGS = 0.5 V are:
VP = -0.5 V
ID = 40 mA

Hence, the correct answer is option C) 4 V and 7.65 mA.

Dhruv Datta answered
Clipping Circuit and its Components
A clipping circuit is a circuit that controls the shape of a waveform by clipping or removing a portion of the applied wave. It is commonly used in signal processing and waveform generation applications.

A clipping circuit typically consists of three main components: an ordinary diode, a resistor, and a capacitor. These components work together to shape the waveform by selectively removing certain portions of the input signal.

Assertion (A): Clipping circuit controls the shape of the waveform by clipping or removing a portion of the applied wave.
This statement is true. A clipping circuit is designed to modify the shape of a waveform by removing or clipping certain portions of the input signal. By controlling the clipping threshold and the direction of the clipping (positive or negative), the circuit can shape the waveform according to the desired specifications.

Reason (R): It needs minimum three components namely an ordinary diode, a resistor and a capacitor.
This statement is false. While it is true that a clipping circuit commonly consists of an ordinary diode, a resistor, and a capacitor, it does not necessarily need all three components to function. The basic functionality of a clipping circuit can be achieved with just a diode and a resistor. The capacitor is optional and is used in certain applications to provide additional filtering or smoothing of the waveform.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - A is true, but R is false. The assertion (A) is true as clipping circuits do control the shape of the waveform by clipping or removing a portion of the applied wave. However, the reason (R) is false as a clipping circuit can function with just a diode and a resistor, and the presence of a capacitor is optional.

The nominal quiescent collector current of a transistor is 1.2 mA. If the range of β for this transistor is 80 ≤ β ≤ 120 and if the quiescent collector current changes by +-10 percent, the range in value for rπ is
  • a)
    1.73 kΩ < rπ < 2.59 kΩ
  • b)
    1.93 kΩ < rπ <  2.59 kΩ
  • c)
    1.73 kΩ < rπ < 2.59 kΩ
  • d)
    1.56 kΩ  < rπ <  2.88 kΩ
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Chhavi Gupta answered
Given Data:
Nominal quiescent collector current = 1.2 mA
Range of β for the transistor = 80 to 120
Change in quiescent collector current = ±10%

Calculation:
1. Calculate the range of quiescent collector current:
Minimum quiescent collector current = 1.2 mA - 10% of 1.2 mA
= 1.2 mA - 0.12 mA
= 1.08 mA
Maximum quiescent collector current = 1.2 mA + 10% of 1.2 mA
= 1.2 mA + 0.12 mA
= 1.32 mA
2. Calculate the corresponding range for β:
Minimum β = 1.08 mA / 1.2 mA * 80
= 72
Maximum β = 1.32 mA / 1.2 mA * 120
= 132
3. Calculate the range in value for r:
Minimum value for r = 1 / 72
= 1.56 kΩ
Maximum value for r = 1 / 132
= 2.88 kΩ

Conclusion:
Therefore, the range in value for r is 1.56 kΩ to 2.88 kΩ. Hence, option D (1.56 kΩ to 2.88 kΩ) is the correct answer.

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Raj Choudhary answered
A FET tuned amplifier refers to an amplifier circuit that uses a field-effect transistor (FET) as the active device and is designed to amplify a specific frequency range.

Given the parameters:
- gm = 5 mA/V: This represents the transconductance of the FET, which is a measure of how much the drain current changes with respect to the gate-source voltage. In this case, the transconductance is 5 mA per volt.
- rd = 20 kΩ: This represents the drain-source resistance of the FET, which is also known as the output impedance. It is the resistance seen looking into the drain terminal with the source terminal shorted to ground.

To design a FET tuned amplifier, you would typically need additional information such as the desired frequency range, the gain requirements, input/output impedance requirements, etc. However, I can provide a general overview of the circuit.

A common configuration for a FET tuned amplifier is the common-source configuration, which provides high voltage gain and good input/output isolation. The key components in this configuration include:

1. FET: The FET is the active device that provides amplification. In this case, the FET has a transconductance of 5 mA/V and an output impedance of 20 kΩ.

2. Biasing Network: The FET requires proper biasing to operate in the active region. This typically involves using resistors and/or capacitors to provide the appropriate DC bias voltage at the gate and drain terminals.

3. Tuning Network: The tuning network consists of inductors and capacitors that are used to select the desired frequency range for amplification. These components create a resonant circuit that provides a narrow bandwidth around the desired frequency.

4. Coupling Capacitors: Coupling capacitors are used to block DC voltage and allow only the AC signal to pass between stages of the amplifier. They are typically placed at the input and output of the amplifier to couple the signals without interfering with the DC biasing.

5. Load Resistor: The load resistor is connected to the drain terminal of the FET and provides the output impedance of the amplifier. It is typically chosen to match the desired output impedance or to interface with the next stage of the circuit.

Overall, the specific design of a FET tuned amplifier will depend on the specific requirements and constraints of the application. It is important to consider factors such as gain, bandwidth, stability, and distortion when designing and implementing such an amplifier circuit.
